For years Constant Comment orange and spice decaffeinated has been our families favorite tea. Why have you changed its composition? Will be looking for another brand.
I've been drinking the tea every morning since 1978 and they changed it. Now it is bitter and the color is light. I won't buy it again.
We have drank C/C ever since 1966. My wife said that she did not think that it was as good as it was in the old days. Well guess what, it is not. Will not buy any more. Just Old Coke and New Coke, then back to Old Coke, has never been the same.. sorry
I too have been drinking Constant Comment since I was a little girl (I am 62). It has always been my favorite. For the last couple of years I have been drinking only coffee, but it has started to upset my stomach so I went back to tea. I had a couple of old boxes of Constant Comment in my pantry from a couple of years ago that I brought out. Awesome flavor. The flavor and aroma that I remembered. I ran out and bought some new. It has definitely changed. Still good, but not the same. I am very disappointed. I hope you all can figure out what is wrong with the recipe. I would love to keep enjoying the flavor and aroma I grew up with. Good Luck!
I have enjoyed your tea for years, it was my grandmother's long time favorite. I have noticed the lack of flavor and aroma lately, but am concerned about the type of materials used in the bags - is that the plastic taste? Please advise. Thank you.
I have loved Constant Comment for years, preferring it to most any other tea. However, the recent change to by Bigelow has made it undrinkable - literally. I find that something that Bigelow did to it now causes an dangerous allergic reaction. This is quite odd since I do not have any other food allergies that I am aware of, but have had a severe reaction the last three times I drank Constant Comment. I did not have this reaction to the previous version (pre-2014) of Constant Comment and I do not have it to any competitor's black teas. I also noticed that the new Constant Comment is much more bitter than the previous version - something that used to draw me to it. I am afraid that this long time customer will have to go elsewhere from now on. Goodbye Bigelow.
My mother has been a daily drinker of constant comment for as long as I can remember.
Recently, she told me her favorite tea has become flavorless and lacked the aroma she had grown to love. She said "It tastes like a low grade plain black tea."
Out of curiosity, I tried a cup and I must agree with her.
I understand in a bad economy you either raise prices or cheapen the quality of the product. The cheapness can't hide behind the new graphics. I guess we can all consider these reviews as an epitaph for a departed friend we will dearly miss. We are actively looking for a replacement brand now that Bigelow is dead to us.
Is there less than a "1" rating? I was raised on the original orange spice tea and this is NOT it! Lost another customer. I have to buy a store brand that is not as good as the old Constant Comet but it beats the heck out of that black tea you make now. I wasted my money trying it! If you don't bring back the old tea I'm done with you!
I have used Constant Comment since 1972. Why does the tea not taste the same? I understand you have discontinued making C.C. Is it true?
I have enjoyed Constant Comment for the last 20 years, and now the tea is weak and the flavor is lacking. I hope you look into changing this back they way it used to be. Otherwise, I'll be looking elsewhere for a tea I can enjoy.
Weak bland version of what used to be my favorite tea.
Unlike others I have not been drinking Constant Comment for years. I switched from coffee to tea about 2 years ago. I found this tea and loved it. I agree with everyone else. It is not the same. The original blend was so fragrant while brewing it was hard to wait for the taste. Now it has no fragrance. As others have so aptly stated the taste is also not up to your standards. Please do something to correct this problem. We all want the original taste flavor and aroma returned.
To Cindi Bigelow,
You say there has not been a change in your tea but something has changed because the taste is very different...Blah. I have been drinking this tea for 50 years. I recently bought from a nationally known online provider. I bought the 6 boxes of 20 tea bags because the illustration did not have the words "BLACK TEA" on the box. When the delivery came, to my disappointment, they did have those words on the box. I made a cup of the new tea and a cup from one of the older tea bags. The taste test was a failure for the new tea. it was Blah. A light tea flavor with none of the orange or sweet spice flavor. While you may not have made a change, there is a definite change in the flavor and I would imagine a change in your customer base will follow. I am returning the tea and start searching for another brand.
I too have been shocked and appalled at the change made to Constant Comment. Rather than add another rant about "What did you do!", I will simply add my support by being another staunch fan of the original blend. My entire family enjoyed Constant Comment so much that when we moved overseas in the 60's, we stockpiled it and re-upped our supplies every two years when we came back for home leave. We were out of the US for 17 years, and never switched to another brand. So thank you Cindy, for listening to your fan base, and please rectify this for all of us. You had a great product, and hopefully it will be back with us soon. Coca-cola already made this mistake, but they learned from it.
For several months, I've sensed that your Constant Comment tea just wasn't the same as before -- less taste and most definitely weaker. Well, today I found some old "CC" that was at least two years old. After comparing a cup brewed from the "old" CC to the current version, my best description of my taste test is "Wow..what a difference!" The old produced the flavor and strength the I've enjoyed for years. The new version is simply weak and no better than your cheaper competitors. Something has changed -- and not for the better. PLEASE re-evaluate. New coke didn't work and this won't either! If it's a matter of inflation, I'd prefer to pay more than be stuck with this new CC. Thank you very much for listening.
Boy did you guys mess new Constant Comment! It was hard enough finding this tea in the store where the shelves are packed with that lousy herbal stuff. But you went and changed the packaging and confused me completely. I only figured it out when I went on line and read the comments the new packaging is that poor. I have used this tea for years. It and the Bigelow green tea are the only two that I drink, and what I used to recommend to non-tea drinkers as to what they should try. I have not bought the newly packaged stuff yet, because I thought it was simply another black tea. What a poor job of packaging. People make their buying decisions in just a few seconds in a store packed with thousands of items. Why would you fool with something that was working?
My wife and I have used Constant Comment Gourmet since 1965, when you could get it in the loss grind oval can. Once you discontinued the oval cans we use the tea bags and cut them open to brew our tea. But whichever way, the one thing that always remained constant through all the years was the wonderful aroma and delicious flavor of Constant Comment Original Blend tea. Whether it was several cups of hot tea each and every morning or several glasses of iced tea every evening, we always got the same great taste, year after year. And now you have changed it. Why? Instead of the original wonderful flavor, the new stuff has a heavy flavor of cinnamon, and a terrible aftertaste. When we open the tea bags, even the grind of the tea is different. I really don't care if you put it in a new container, just please bring back the ORIGINAL Constant Comment Recipe that tastes like it did for all these past years. This new stuff with the heavy cinnamon taste is terrible. At least offer the old tasting tea to those of us who love it and don't want the new stuff, or to change to a different vendor. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
It's been super cold here so I broke out the tea packets my friend left from last visit, and fell in love with this, seriously, to the point where the coffee pot was ignored. Kind of appalled that I cannot find this awesome product in stores. The new replacement blend is awful. You'll have a loyal tea drinker if you bring back the old blend :)
I came here prepared to explain my disappointment that the tea I have enjoyed since I was a child has gone so far downhill. It looks like I'm not the only one. Rather than belaboring the point, I'll just say that I'm happy to hear this is being looked into and hopefully future boxes will be back up to the level of quality we have come to expect.
Will constant comment ever be in a K-Cup??
I've been drinking this tea since I was a kid, (45 years now), and my last 2 boxes of tea bags are NOT THE SAME. What did you do? Why would you change a classic!? I've even gone to a local tea and spice company here to try to get something close, and I can't. Please bring back the classic flavor.
As a family company, we appreciate each and every comment found in our product reviews, and read each one very closely. We want you to know that we realize that these comments are being made by some of our most loyal and long term tea drinkers, who know the product best, and need to communicate to us that the taste is definitely not what they remember.
I am also reading that the words "black tea" on the front panel of our new design is presenting some confusion. Black tea has always been the base ingredient in "Constant Comment" and was/is the first item listed in our ingredient statement. Our recipe always begins using hand-picked black tea from the top of the Sri Lankan Mountains, which is then carefully blended with our special recipe of orange and sweet spices. My parents are still the only ones that actually create "Constant Comment".
I can promise you that we are still buying the EXACT same ingredients from the same suppliers. We continue to blend the "Constant Comment" following the same steps, absolutely no short cuts. Although we do taste all our raw ingredients prior to creating this "special blend recipe" the fact that you are not pleased with the flavor, has prompted us all to work as hard as possible to determine the cause. Our entire family reputation is based on the integrity of our name. We cannot and would not change my grandmother's recipe, as it's this particular recipe that built our company. So I can promise you we all will be drinking "CC" here at Bigelow and overseeing our raw ingredients EVEN more carefully than ever, but we are 100% not changing our original recipe.
Please know our commitment and dedication to that original recipe created by my grandmother in her kitchen is as strong today as it was when I joined the company 30 years ago.
With deep appreciation for your passion to our products,
We found an old box of Constant Comment in a store and could tell immediately that it was different from the Constant Comment in the new boxes. The older one is stronger with much more flavor...once we run out of the old box we may need to switch brands to Market Spice of something like it.
This used to be my favorite tea, however I'm not sure what was done to the mix but I now need to use 2 bags when I used to have to use just 1. Also, the flavor changed and it doesn't taste nearly as good as it used to. I'll only purchase it again if it gets switched back, till then I'm drinking PG tips.
My all-time favorite tea has changed and not for the best. It's the only tea my dad will drink, too, and he's mainly a coffee drinker. I've been digging around the house for some of the old tea bags.. Even the herbal Orange and Spice tea pales in comparison with the old blend. PLEASE change it back!
I have loved the tea for years. It is the only tea I drink. My daughter is also a lover and has drank it with me since she was 3. I don't know what has been done to it but it is now the absolute worst I have ever drank. I compared the old with the new and there is no resemblance in deliciousness of smell or taste. We are both extremely disappointed. I went to our small town grocery and managed to find the old edition and I bought every box they had. When we are finished with these boxes there will be no more. We are very disappointed. Please Please fix this.
I've been drinking the Spice Tea for years. When I tried what I thought was just a new label on the box, I was very disappointed. Yes, it's BLACK tea and I don't like it. Bring back the one you used to make!
I too was confused about the change in the labeling of this tea. I couldn't find it for weeks until I read comments that the box has been changed to display "black tea". This is very confusing. I love this tea, it's the only one I like but the new flavor is horrible. It tastes like ordinary black tea. The orange spice flavor has practically disappeared. I guess that's why the labeling changed. Please bring back the original recipe.
Very disappointed the company's flag ship tea has been changed. Not the same flavor as before. Taste like Lipton plain jane black tea. Not the great tasting Constant Comment Orange and Spice always had. Shame to whoever mucked with the recipe.
I have been buying Constant Comment because of the great orange spice flavor. I was not able to find it in the store because they had changed the packaging. When I went to the website, I read some of the reviews, to my surprise Bigelow had changed the packaged. I also read some of the review about the flavor not being the same. Well everyone is right. I bought a box this weekend and it is not that great in flavor. Please bring back the old recipe for Constant Comment. I miss the strong orange spice smell and taste.
For many years I would rate Bigelow Tea as a 5. Not this time! Where did the orange and spice flavor go from this tea? I started my day each morning for many years with a cup of Bigelow orange and spice tea. Use only Bigelow - Made in USA. But this last box has no flavor. New packaging is also deceiving. Why fix something that isn't broken?
Where did the flavor go? I have been drinking Constant Comment since I was a child in Fairfield. My aunt used to get the tea from Mrs. Bigelow. What have you done to it? The usual aroma is gone and the brewed tea is so weak and tastes like dishwater. Please, please bring back the original quickly.
Both the packaging (and the tea) are new. Or I should say that the tea in the boxes with new packaging has just about no flavor or scent. Did Bigelow forget to add the original ingredients? I have drunk this tea for over 35 years, at least 4 cups a day. I compared my last bag of tea from the "old" box and compared it to the tea from the "new" box. There is no comparison! I even had one of my best friends make a comparison, same result. In the last few years there was a period of time Bigelow either deliberately or accidentally tweaked CC's recipe. There was a very different taste which I found off-putting, consequently I threw several boxes away. This problem was eventually remedied. The "new" product has no taste Bigelow. If you don't remedy this situation I will sadly find another tea - am extremely disappointed, this tea is how I start my day!
"New" tea was sampled from newly packaged box marked "Tea packed by Cecilia S.; Code # 1015916UH3; Best enjoyed by Aug 2016". Some things should never be altered!
This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE hot beverage. I carry this tea with me so I can have it every where. It is the perfect blend. So soothing and unlike any other tea. I drink this all year during the day. My Great Grandmother, who was born in 1909 was known for her love of this tea and took it with her to department store tea rooms. The tradition has passed down and 4 generations are Loyal CC drinkers... The description on the box is true to the flavor. A lovely tradition.
Cannot no longer find Orange and Sweet Spice in stores. It seems Orange&Spice has replaced it...Please tell me it is not true. They are sooo different from one another!!
I was at a restaurant early this month and asked for hot tea to drink. They brought out a wide variety of different tea bags to choose from. The Bigelow Constant Comment tea caught my eye and I tried it. It was heavenly. It was the best tea I had ever enjoyed. Mellow, smooth, not bitter. I kept the package, and when I had the opportunity I searched for Bigelow Tea on the web. I ordered the loose tea canisters. When they arrived I tore open the box and immediately made a fresh pot.
To me disappointment, it was not the same. I thought I had ordered the same CC with orange and spices. The label was the same, but the taste was strong and bitter and not the same I had enjoyed at the restaurant.
Did they change the ingredients? Did I brew it incorrectly? Did I order the wrong product?
I guess I'll have to go back to the restaurant and order tea again.
I have to end this by saying it was good, but not the same taste I was hoping for.
I have been drinking Constant Comment tea daily for the last seven years. It is the best tea! I have never had an issue with tag coming off, string breaking or holes in bags. (I have with other tea products). The quality of Constant Comment is great. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your tea daily and thank you for holding the price consistent and the quality superior.
I remember the smell of Constant Comment tea from my great-grandmother's house. It was her favourite tea and she always kept a stock of it in the kitchen. It is difficult to find in Canada, but every time we visited the USA, my mother would buy a large stock of it as well, to last until our next visit. Now I can order it to Canada online! (Although I will complain about shipping being too expensive.) I can easily say that Constant Comment tea has been enjoyed by my family for generations.
In 1975 I visited relatives in the U.S.A. and they introduced me to Constant Comment. I immediately fell in love with the flavor. For some years my relatives sent me the wonderful tea as a Christmas gift but last February I decided to import directly from Bigelow myself.
It was a very positive experience. When my order was accepted I had my tea just after a week or so. I´m impressed – it´s a long way from U.S.A. to the north of Sweden. Thank you, Bigelow! My family, friends and I are really enjoying our "C C-moments".
Constant Comment has been the tea of our family for over 60 years. My mother started each generation our on Constant Comment in the afternoons with Grandma. Now the great grandchildren are having the same experience. Thanks Bigelow for the memories!!!
I first sampled Constant Comment at a Girl Scout Parent Meeting. I have enjoyed it ever since. Would love to see it in Kcups.
Kcups so convenient. It would be so wonderful to have it so...
My husband and absolutely love this flavored tea. It is so delicious and welcome on these cold winter nights. Thank you so much for your recipes for teas.
I drink a minimum of 2 cups of Constant Comment EVERY day. I NEED NEED NEED it in K Cups! PLEASE!!!
I have loved this tea since I was a small child. Are there any plans to make it in a K cup?
My new favorite beverage in the world is to microwave 2 percent milk until it is hot - then I put a constant comment tea bag in and to help the steep I stir it and then put the cup back into the microwave under a defrost setting. Just don't let it foam over. Then I had a touch of sugar to taste. It is so much better than any other tea latte available at coffee houses. Thanks Bigelow.
My husband really enjoys this tea but is disappointed to find it is not made in K-cups.
Please, Please make this tea in the K cups!!
Best Tea Ever! Please make this in a K-Cup version! I would buy by the truckload!
Inspiration to Celebrate the season. Sometime its great as a hot toddy - with a little spirit in it to relax. Great with or without.
This wonderful tea brings back memories of cozy rainy afternoons in front of the fireplace.Although I no longer have a home with a fireplace, this tea still remains my favorite.
It was and still is my favorite tea....grew up in the 60's and the hippie era and that was our tea of choice. That was a great time of my life and just brewing a cup of Constant Comment now brings it all back!
Constant Comment reminds me of my mother. It was her favorite tea and is now one of mine also.
I drink Constant Comment every morning. It is the most refreshing tea with a wealth of flavor. I have also introduced several friends to Constant Comment, they love it too!!
my mom always drank this tea when i was a child, i have drank this tea since i was a child and still do, my grown children drink this tea and have since they were kids, it's a multiple generation thing :) and in our family it cures every thing from an upset stomach to a broken heart
It would sure be nice to be able to have constant comment in a k cup
Just a quick note to say this has been a favorite of our whole family for well over thirty years!!!!
I bought Constant Comment, thinking it would be the non-herbal version of Bigelow's Orange & Spice tea (which I love, btw). I was terribly disappointed by the heavy -- and I do mean HEAVY -- reliance on clove as a spice. Unfortunately, I only enjoy clove in small amounts (like on a ham). So, a 2 from me.
This tea takes the kinks out of my toughest days. Thanks for an exceptional product.
Really great tea! the only reason i gave it a 4 is that if you don't take the tea bag out at the exact right time, it will get a bitter taste. Oh well, still a great tea!!!
This has been my favorite tea, There is no tea with flavor I get from this Tea. I'm hooked and love it every day.
Its been my top choice for years along with the Earl Grey. Love the smell of orange and clove. Its also wonderful iced. Don't ever stop making my Constant Comment.
Please make this in a K cup - it's the only tea I drink and we have a Kuereg at work and home
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it in a K-Cup! PLEASE!!!!!
Like many others, I want to see this is a K-Cup. This has always been my favorite tea and I have boxes of it at home and work, as well as the decaf version for evenings. I just want to be able to use it with my new Keurig!
Absolutely perfect!
I've loved Constant Comment Tea for years, as did my Grandmother. I'll keep buying it BUT I sure don't care for the new string on the tea bag that wicks the liquid out of the cup and onto the table! It's that blasted string that lost a whole rating point.
I would rate this wonderful tea a 10 if I could get it in a K-cup
I love Constant Comment and have been drinking it for over thirty years. My store discontinued selling it. This is Gordon's Food Service in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Can you please call them have have them add it back please. Thank you.
This is a truly GREAT tea! Bigelow can make it better in a K-cup.
I LOVE this tea! Just the smell of it brewing is instant relaxation for me, and it's a great way to start my day at work.
The aroma of Constant Comment always reminds me of my childhood, sitting by the fire on a cold winters night or out in the backyard with a tall, cold glass of iced tea.
Lately I have been making a pot of Constant Comment (2 two bags) combined with one tea bag of Plantation Mint after dinner...terrific!
It's a toss-up between this and the Earl Grey as my favorites amongst Bigelow's offerings. Any tea that can inspire salivation solely through its aroma is right by me.
They're both so good, I can enjoy them right out of the pot, without as much as a spot of sweetener.
I start every morning with my Bigelow Constant Comment Hot Tea ever & I drink the decaf at night - I LOVE THIS TEA!!!! Thank you Bigelow!!! : )
This is my favorite flavor of Bigelow tea. It's one of the best teas that I have ever had. It tastes delicious and has the perfect blend of orange and sweet spice. This tea is nice to drink anytime, especially during the winter.
I drink this tea anytime of day. It has just the right amount of spices with the delicious orange undertones I love.
I love this tea. It is perfect. It is like getting that apple cider (orange cider really) flavor in a tea---sweet without sugar!!! Perfect !
This is my Kids' favorite hot tea. I also like it as an iced tea - especially with grilled steak, pork chops, pork burgers, or brats. I make a family sized pitcher using 2 bags Constant Comment and 1 bag Earl Grey.
I just love this tea in the morning at the Office. It takes the stress off of a busy morning. My 92 year-young Grandma also loves this tea. She doesn't think it's right to drink it every day though. She thinks it should only be reserved for special occasions. I'm getting ready to break her of that! She's getting several boxes of it for her birthday and I'm going to expect her to drink it all the time! It's simply a wonderful tea.
This is the best tea for early in the morning or a late day "pick me up". Please consider making this tea in the K cups.
This flavorful, luscious tea is the perfect blend of tea and spice with a warm splash of citrus.perfect for relaxing at the end of a long day or any time you want to enjoy rich, flavorful tea.
My favorite tea... I drink it for breakfast!
Constant Comment has been my favorite tea for the past 35 years. I keep a varity of teas in my tea drawer, and there is ALWAYS a box of Constant Comment there.
My mom bought this all the time when I was a child, it is now a staple in my cabinets in my home. Has a hint of citrus and sweetness, I love it. A classic.
My grandmother introduced me to this tea when I was maybe 4 years old, and I've been in love ever since. A wonderful tea of orange and sweet spices that makes a profound and lasting impression. A wonderful way to introduce a little girl to her first tea party and simply fantastic with gingersnap cookies!
It tastes just like Christmas. Seriously. At least, if Christmas had a taste, this is what it would taste like.
This tea reminds me of the cookies that my gradmother made for me when I was a kid. Too bad I can't remember the name of them! YUM!
This is my favorite!! The best tea I've ever had. I also boil ONE tea bag with my regular tea to make ice tea. We are addicted and the two of us go through a gallon almost every day.
This tea is my favorite for a relaxing cup of tea in the afternoon. For some reason the smell and taste evoke a feeling of "all is right with the world". Have a cup of tea, slow down, and appreciate the little things that can make you happy- like a Constant Comment tea!
This is the most delicious tea ever....I only wish it were available in the K-Cups.
I have loved this tea since I first tried many years ago! Great tea taste with just a hint of spices.

Wonderopolis explores the topic of after-school snacks with Wonder of the Day #177: What Is the Best After-School Snack?
Do you communicate with parents about nutrition and its impact on children's health and performance? If so, what resources do you use to help parents understand the facts?
So much of what is taught in the classroom about nutrition and exercise can only be implemented outside the classroom. I'd love to hear how others have tried to bridge the gap and communicate with parents about these issues.
First, I must say I really enjoy Wonderopolis and look forward to seeing what new wonder each day brings.
Nutrition is such an important topic in the news now as children are faced with obesity problems. I have fought the temptation to indulge in sweets and now enjoy fruits (such as apples and green grapes) or raw vegetables with a low calorie dip for snacks. By the way, smoothies made with fruits in a blender are a delicious afternoon beverage. I hope parents are considering these options.
There is a discussion in the community titled The specified item was not found. which references some good resources pertaining to children's nutrition and a list of Thinkfinity resources that relate to Childhood Obesity. If you scroll up in that discussion, you will see some additional resources that also address eating habits of children.
I hope your discussion prompts others to share after-school snack ideas and helpful tips on children's health and nutrition.
Thanks Lynne! It's always great to hear that people are enjoying Wonderopolis and looking forward to new Wonders of the Day.
I appreciate your response with the links to the childhood obesity resources and discussion. I understand this is a difficult issue for educators to deal with, so I'm hoping that some members will share success stories they may have about how they've managed to bridge the gap between the classroom and home with regard to these issues.
We have a healthy eating and lifestyles initiative that includes:
I've uploaded a copy of this month's lunch menu to model how our lunch program is both feasible and affordable.
This is a hard topic!! WIth all of the state initiatives, as well as the push from our district, we are starting to see some progress and success in this area, but since we are such a site-based district, it really varies from school to school. At our elementary school, we have developed a wellness committee. This committee is made up of 2 co-leaders (another teacher and myself), our pe teacher, a few other teachers, our office manager, and a few interested parents. Our principal comes to about 50% of the meetings. We also have our district wellness leader and another representative from one of our grant sources come to most meetings, but not all.
We also have a group called The Healthy Kids Club that has been amazing to partner with. They are acutally part of our local hospital, but they have been absoutely amazing in their support with the school, but also getting information in the hands of parents.
At many of our school-wide functions (back to school night, PBS night, walk-a-thon, pto meetings, carnival, family fun nights,assemblies, IB nights, etc.) where we tend to have a good parent turn out, we always try to have a booth or at least information available to give to families. We also send a monthly phamplet home with students and put a variety of policies, tips, information, etc. in our monthly newsletter and on our webiste.
Good luck! I feel like we have had some great success, but also some challenges, resistance, and obstacles that we sitll are going against! Hope this helps!
Galileo High School in Danville, VA, recently participated in a Make It Happen grant funded by the Danville Regional Foundation. For 6 weeks, students focused on a "Happy, Healthy, Heart." For the Happy part, students kept journals describing things they were grateful for and random acts of kindness they did for others.
To be Healthy, students followed the daily 9-5-2-1-0 Plan--
Lastly, students were Heart conscious by taking several "instant recess" periods during the day when class activities stopped momentarily, and students did exercises standing by their desks. They were encouraged to eat heathy nutrition chips for snacks.
The school also offers a Walking Club that meets 3 afternoons each week. Students and faculty walk the neighborhood for 30 minutes enjoying the fresh air and time for socializing.

CNN Student News released a story June 1 called A Soda Pop Ban? The story focuses on a proposed New York City law that would limit the size of sodas and other sugary drinks that can be sold to students. The ban would prohibit young people from purchasing one of these drinks that was larger than 16 oz. from any public place including schools and restaurants.
The report explains that people drinking beverages with a high sugary content can experience possible side effects, such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and/or cancer, according to some research officials. Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City maintains that sodas are a dangerous health risk for today's youth.
This could be a great conversation prompt for a health class or civics class.
What's your opinion on super-sizing? Should New York City pass the "Sugary Drinks Proposal"?
Here's a great list of apps and websites to help students make healthy food choices:
For more details, check out Richard Byrne's blog 5 Resources to Help Students Make Healthy Food Choices published in Free Technology for Teachers July 15, 2013.

Q: I made an appointment at a 'chain' tire store for two new front tires for my front-wheel-drive minivan. Not till I arrived was I told the new tires had to go on the rear if there was significant difference between the amount of tread on the new tires compared to the old. I said I was replacing the front tires only because I'd experienced poor traction in several inches of snow, so putting the new tires on the rear would provide no benefit. We inspected the tires and the salesman concluded there was a significant difference, and said company policy dictated the new tires had to go on the rear. (By my estimate, the existing tires had about 25 percent tread remaining, and would have passed state inspection.) A different tire store granted my request, but only after I signed a form indicating I was taking this action against their recommendation. Other sources support the rear-wheels claim, but I disagree.
— Ed Sokalski, Salisbury Township
A: As you noted in your email, Ed, rear-only proponents point out that worn tires on the front wheels are more susceptible to hydroplaning on wet roads, which on the surface (so to speak) would seem to argue in your favor. But the rear-runners go on to say that motorists can correct for dangerous hydroplaning far more easily with new tires in the back. In their scenario, drivers immediately recognize the loss of front traction — they can "feel" it in the steering wheel — which induces them to slow down and maintain control of the vehicle.
Rear-tire hydroplaning is much harder to correct for, the rear-only crowd contends. Rear hydroplaning is more likely to result in "fishtailing" and total loss of vehicle control, the theory goes, so it's best to keep the older, hydroplane-prone tires up front.
This seems to put logic squarely into reverse gear: A car is more likely to experience a dangerous condition with worn tires up front, therefore we opt for worn front tires on the theory that in response to the danger, the driver will adopt the proper safety measure.
You put it this way, Ed: "This might be fine for areas like Florida … but here in Pennsylvania we have snow, ice and hills, and traction is important. … Also, new tires in front give better braking and steering control. I have never had a rear-end spinout, but I have been stuck in the snow many times" posing a dangerous target for moving traffic.
I'm riding shotgun in your Sienna, Ed. It seems absurd to invite a dangerous condition on the grounds that, once it does happen, it's less dangerous than an alternate dangerous practice. And it still seems to me that a car is less likely to hydroplane in the first place with newer tires up front. I've experienced front hydroplaning a number of times, but never in the rear, at least not that I remember.
That was my attitude, anyway, before researching the issue. I still wasn't convinced after reading unequivocal endorsements of the rear-only philosophy from two major tire retailers. Similarly strong pronouncements from manufacturers Michelin and Firestone planted some doubt in my mind.
Then my skepticism of this counterintuitive theory fell clean through the floorboards when I watched Internet videos of test runs by professional drivers on Michelin's test track, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the rear-only philosophy drives in the right direction.
Conditions seem to be replicated as closely as possible in the test runs, industrial sprinklers spewing "rain" on the course, and the drivers lose control far more dramatically with the good rubber on the front. They maintain stability pretty well with the new tires on the rear, the deeper tread channeling water away from the tire more effectively, helping maintain road adhesion.
Kevin Rohlwing of the Tire Industry Association speaks from firsthand experience, having taken this kind of test drive himself. "Any loss of [front] traction, you're going to feel that in the steering wheel; you can make the adjustments," he said. When the rear wheels lose their grip, "You cannot control the vehicle," he said.
"I get calls about this [issue] all the time," Rohlwing added, often from irate consumers insisting they should be allowed to have a product they purchase applied to their vehicle they way they see fit. But tire sellers have to protect their businesses, including from potential legal liability, Rohlwing said, adding that in addition to his group, the Rubber Manufacturers Association and "all the tire companies" agree on this.
The Magliozzi brothers from the NPR radio show and syndicated newspaper column "Car Talk" back up the rear-only crowd, admitting that they, too, initially were surprised at this unusual recommendation. But they're also thoroughly convinced by the evidence. (They retired last year, but radio show reruns and column reprints remain on the road.)
"It does sound crazy at first," Tom Magliozzi said in 2009, but it's true, the pair concluded. Their questioner had complained that his tire dealer recommended he buy four new tires rather than put two new ones on the front only, which "sounds suspicious, because it provides a highly convenient argument for selling two extra tires," Magliozzi said. But it's not a ruse for selling more tires, the brothers agreed, saying the rule is justified as a safety improvement.
I may have headed in the wrong direction initially on this matter because, as I said, I've only experienced front-tire hydroplaning. But in retrospect, that could bolster the rear-only case: I felt the loss of control instantly, let off the gas, and maintained control each time. No accidents.
Michelin offers a catchy slogan: "Don't put your best foot forward," a spokeswoman says on the test-track video. "Always put new tires on the rear."

MARTINSBURG - A backhoe hit a gas line as it was digging on West Race Street at Tennessee Avenue, according to Martinsburg Fire Department Chief Paul Bragg. The incident occurred around 8:13 a.m. Thursday.
Though there was no fire as a result of the hit, residents were asked to evacuate the area as a precaution.
"There was a bad leak of gas," Bragg said. "It got into some of the residences that were close to where the digging was taking place."

City and Mountaineer Gas employees work to repair a gas line leak caused by damage from a backhoe Thursday morning. The incident occurred on West Race Street at Tennessee Avenue. There was no fire as a result, but residents were asked to evacuate as a precaution.
Barbara Vratina, a Tennessee Avenue resident, said she and her husband checked to see what the commotion on the street was.
"You could actually smell gas on the street," she said. "I thought, 'OK, that's why they're evacuating.'"
Three elderly residents were taken to the hospital, but none were treated.
"(We) sent (them) to the hospital ... to give them a safe place to be," Bragg said.
The Martinsburg Police Department, Berkeley County Emergency Ambulance Authority, the Martinsburg Fire Department and Mountaineer Gas responded to the incident.
Residents were able to return to their homes by 11 a.m., Bragg said.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

A command center is set up on the banks of the Hudson River after a plane crash in Germantown on May 2, 3013.
Dan Levy / WNYT
GERMANTOWN – Divers are back in the water where a small plane crashed into the Hudson River Thursday afternoon in Columbia County. They're searching for the pilot of a World War II-style plane that went down in Germantown.
State police say divers located the plane's tail section in the water, in an area that is about 100 square feet and 25 feet deep. The portion of the tail with the plane's ID number has not yet been found.
Earlier investigators had recovered several pieces of debris floating on the surface. That helped them identify the plane as a twin-engine Grumman G-44A reconnaissance aircraft.
State police say they believe they know who the pilot was, but they are not yet releasing the name. The say he took off from a private airstrip in Copake.
With the use of sonar equipment, they hope to recover the pilot's body and bring up pieces of the plane with the help of a salvage company.

Titles mean little, legacy is everything
After twenty years as a major college assistant, Jimmy Ray Stephens has decided to return to his roots at the high school level and continue to build on his legacy.
Stephens will be recommended as the next head coach at Walton high school in Florida and he says that it would be a welcome change for him on both a personal and professional level. "I've been miserable the last couple of years, I just felt like it was time for a change."
"After spending 20 years in college football, it was a good 20 years, it was a great run, but I think I've gotten to the point now where I want to matter" Stephens said. "I feel like, by going back to high school coaching and being the head coach myself and doing my thing the way I believe in doing things and making a difference in young people's live...I'm not sure you can get much of that done at the college level." he added.
Going from the major college level to high school is quite the change, but it sounds to us like Coach Stephens is doing it for all the right reasons. It's a nice reminder that titles mean very little compared to the legacy that coaches have the opportunity to leave in their players lives.
Pelini looking to recruit more efficiently
A local reporter asked Bo Pelini how he measures toughness in a recruit, "Part of it is simply finding guys who do things the right way, you also look for guys who step up in big parts of the game, and guys who handle adversity." he responded.
Pelini added that while it is important that you do your homework and ask people surrounding the recruit, you also have to ask the right questions. That is why Pelini has enlisted the help of a firm of research professionals to help his staff ask the right questions and evaluate recruits more efficiently.
"They're working to help us to not only ask the right questions, but teach us what to listen for when we ask the questions and get more insight in the limited amount of time we're with recruits," Pelini said of the researchers. He added that the most important aspect is knowing what key words and reactions to assess as you ask the questions.
Pelini hopes to have half of their 2013 recruiting class in place by the end of the summer.
Fuente talks spring ball
First year head coach Justin Fuente and Memphis start spring practices today at 4pm. Fuente met with the media yesterday to talk about how things have been going since his arrival, and his expectations for going into spring ball.
Fuente says that they have broken up the bulk of practices into three main segments. They will go the first five days, then evaluate the progress over their spring break and then regroup and adjust schemes and personnel as necessary for the next five days of practice, and then focus on finishing strong with the last five days.
Coach Fuente said that it was awkward when they first broke up for position meetings and he "just stood there with nothing to do" and had to stop himself from going into the quarterbacks meeting. He said there is going to be lot of those moments in the spring and fall where he is so conditioned to going to a certain drill at a certain time during practice because that's what he has done the past decade.
"Our objective (for spring ball) is the health of the team, the knowledge base, teaching them how to practice and prepare" Fuente said about what their focus will be. "There are no 1's and 2's at this point". Fuente stressed the importance of this because when the freshman report in the fall, he wants the upperclassmen to teach those expectations to the new guys, which is a luxury he doesn't have now.
Lessons learned in the first 3 weeks as a head coach
Kyle Flood has had about three weeks under his belt as the head coach at Rutgers, and took some time to reflect on some things that he has learned in his new position yesterday.
Since taking over, Flood has had a few lessons really stick out to him. "The fastest lesson you'll learn is you don't know what you don't know. Every day things come up and you go, 'OK, I didn't think about that.' "
Flood said that the biggest lesson that he learned under Schiano was to keep his kids around as much as possible. "Greg's kids were always in the office, always running around. The F.A.M.I.L.Y. atmosphere is not just with the players. It was about the coaches and their families, too. That was a lesson he didn't need to tell me because I watched him live it when he was here."
Coach Flood will be adding one more member to that family atmosphere soon, with his wife expecting to deliver a baby boy this weekend.
Mizzou making plenty of changes prior to joining SEC
Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden published a letter today addressing Tiger Nation where he talked about the big move to the SEC and some additional changes coming next season.
Alden explained the five challenges that they are going to face with their new conference, including keeping up and building upon their rich academic tradition, continuing to progress their facilities, and maintaining their excitement of the conference move through all sports for years to come.
The letter also addresses a lot of changes for next season, including unifying the gold on their uniforms and the font that's used for the numbers (changes will be revealed for the spring game), changing the field surface, as well as the midfield Tiger logo getting enlarged, and the end zone words changing from "Missouri" to "Mizzou".
The full letter can be read below.
Tiger Fans:
Since November 6, 2011, we have had an entire team of folks that have worked every day transitioning Mizzou for our move to the Southeastern Conference. There was certainly a lot of work which led up to the announcement in the Fall, but the pace and inclusiveness "ramped up" significantly after that time. Tim Hickman has been orchestrating all aspects of the SEC transition and is doing a terrific job.
We have not yet completed our 2012 Football Schedule, needing one additional game to fill that 12-game slate. With the number of institutions moving conferences, and possibly continuing to move, it has been challenging to complete. Mark Alnutt, our Senior Associate Athletics Director, is responsible for all scheduling and he is working tirelessly to finalize that last game. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this process. We know that many of us set our plans for football season well in advance, and we're hopeful the schedule will be finalized soon so you can complete your calendar getting ready for Tiger Football!
When we made the decision as a University to apply and then be accepted to the SEC, we communicated very publicly how there was no question that all of us would have to "step up." Academically, socially, competitively, financially, facilities, recruiting, etc. ... all of these issues and more would challenge us to evaluate what we were doing and to keep improving in all areas. As competitors, that's what we do: seize the opportunities, challenge ourselves and commit to achieving success.
There are 5 basic areas on which we see those challenges centering:
Some of the results of these considerations will give all of us the opportunity to work toward further success. It will impact all of us ... there is no doubt. We do recognize that there are costs associated with academic, social and competitive success, and it's our hope that all of us will see those costs as an investment in our future success. Changes that you will see in the next two months (there is much more information to follow!):
Much more detailed information will be sent (via mail) to all of our Tiger Scholarship Fund donors and Football Season ticket holders regarding the changes listed above.
We know this is a LOT of information that we are delivering. We also know that changes are challenging for all of us. We have great students, faculty, staff, alumni, fans and friends at the University of Missouri. We appreciate everything you have done and continue to do for Mizzou ... the future looks very bright for the Tigers. All of us working together are investing in a tremendous brand focusing on our core values of academic integrity, social responsibility and competitive excellence. The University of Missouri is truly committed to respect, responsibility, discovery and excellence in all that we do. THANK YOU ... Go Tigers!

Saban gets creative recruiting
Nick Saban and his staff are accustomed to pulling in one of the nations top recruiting classes year in and year out. His targets for the 2013 class know when they're a priority for Alabama, and one recruit in particular got that message loud and clear.
Georgia high school running back, Alvin Kamara, made headlines after coming home to a mailbox literally overflowing with letters..105 to be exact, each one of them coming from the Crimson Tide. Normally, Saban puts stamps on 4-6 letters per day for Kamara, but he thought he'd let him know how serious he was by sending a crystal clear message.
Kamara still hasn't opened all of the letters, but one thing that he did notice is that there are no duplicates in the pile, each one has a different message about what sets Alabama and their football traditions apart from every other school on his radar.
You can bet Saban had more than one member of the staff stuffing envelopes to send that message.
Tuberville makes his case for indoor facility
Tommy Tuberville and Texas Tech kicked off their spring practices late last week, with Saturday marking their second time out on the field.
The weather for Saturday's practice was not very Texas-like, with temperatures hovering in the 30's and 40's, with a drizzling rain and slight breeze.
Tuberville addressed the weather at the post practice media session saying, "It doesn't bother the players, they were running full speed so they weren't cool at all. It's just all of us standing around and watching that is affects more than anybody. This was not too bad, it could be a lot worse. The wind has been good and yesterday we didn't have any wind at all. I'd rather have this with no wind than 65 degrees and the wind blowing 35 miles per hour."
He then made his case for an indoor practice facility. "That's why we need an indoor workout area. That's why we've started (spring practice) so early, the wind blows a lot harder once we get into March and hopefully we get some good practice in throwing the ball before the wind picks up."
Vikings reach tentative deal for new stadium
The Minnesota Vikings, Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota have reached a tentative agreement on a new $975 million dollar stadium.
The price tag will be split between the state (who would cover $398 million), the city of Minneapolis ($150 million) and the Vikings ($427 million). The city would also pick up the operating cost of $180 million over a 30 year span. The new site of the stadium would be at, or near the current Metrodome location.
The preliminary deal must still get approval through the Legislature and Minneapolis City Council, as well as the NFL before anything is finalized.

#35 Saints "Walk Off" with Series Sweep over Lions
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia baseball team completed a three-game sweep of Mars Hill on Sunday afternoon, using a dramatic walk off win in the finale to grab both ends of a doubleheader and send the Lions packing in non-conference action at Bob Stein Stadium.
Offense was the story of the day in the opener as the Saints pounded out 19 hits and scored 18 runs on their way to an 18-5 victory. Brad Hall could do little wrong at the plate, recording four hits, while driving in five runs, including a solo shot in the 7th inning.
The Saints jumped out to a 9-0 lead with five runs in the first and four more in the second frame, but Mars Hill responded with a two-spot in the third inning to cut the lead to seven at 9-2.
North Georgia added two more four-run innings, before Hall's solo home run in the seventh capped the scoring for the Saints. Derek Hooper, Dustin Carpenter, and Troy Snitker all added three-hit performances in the win, while Kenny Bellavance drove in four of the 18 runs.
Michael Bueker paced the Lions' offense from the leadoff position, tallying three hits in five trips to the plate, while four different players picked up RBI's for Mars Hill.
Michael Patton got the start for the Saints, but it was Garrett Smith (1-0) who came on in relief and picked up the win, tossing 5.0 innings of two-hit ball, while walking one and striking out one.
Game two turned into a pitcher's duel, but North Georgia scored first for the third straight game as Chad Sage lifted a sacrifice fly to right field in the first inning, sending Jordan Erisman to the plate who was hit by a pitch to lead off the frame.
Mars Hill would not go away however, coming back in the fifth inning and scoring a pair of runs to take a 2-1 lead. Dalton Hardee drove in the first run of the inning, while Michael Bueker's sacrifice fly gave the Lions a one-run lead. Tyler Reboulet tripled later in the inning, but was stranded when Alex Simmons came on in relief and forced a Brandon King fly out to end the threat.
The Saints were held in check until the eighth inning when Derek Hooper lined a one-out double to right field and later came racing around to score when Chad Sage came alive and drilled a single through the left side, knotting the score at 2-2.
After Jacob Rickett set down the Lions in the top half of the ninth, Dustin Carpenter led off the bottom half and smoked a single up the middle to get a rally started.
After a sacrifice bunt from Troy Snitker moved the runner over, Denver Stovall came up with the biggest hit of his North Georgia career, a single to left center, bringing Carpenter racing for the plate and diving in under the tag at home and giving the Saints a 3-2 comeback win.
Rickett picked up the win in relief, tossing 1.1 innings and allowing one hit, while striking out three more batters, giving the senior seven punch outs in just 2.2 innings of work on the year.
The Saints go right back to work next weekend in the second of three straight home series to open the year, welcoming Stillman College to town with single games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

That's Life
As a career professional, volunteer, mom, wife, and friend, I focus on the positive aspects of life, even when the road is rough getting there. Life is funny. How you treat others, how you handle situations, and how you live each day is your responsibility ... so are the outcomes.
Personal Mission Statement
"I am on a mission," is a phrase I am sure you have said or heard at one time or another. When you made the statement, did you only have one direction in mind, or were there various parts to what the "mission" may have entailed. I believe in this day and age, with the conundrum going on in our complicated lives, everyone should build a personal mission statement.
Why do I believe in the concept?

UWM Spotlight on Excellence: Shea's new hand
When nine-year-old Shea Stollenwerk asked for a hand for Christmas, her parents hoped to find someone to make the parts, fully envisioning assembling a mechanical hand for their daughter themselves. The third grader from Mukwonago was born with a partial palm and no fingers on her right hand, but YouTube videos of 3-D printed plastic prostheses made her believe a fully functioning right hand might be in her future.
Frankie Flood knew he could help. But the UW-Milwaukee associate professor would do much more than mail the Stollenwerks a box of unassembled pieces. In this video, watch as Flood recruits his Peck School of the Arts colleague Adream Blair, her design class and Shea herself to design and develop a plethora of pink, purple and turquoise hands for a little girl whose Christmas wish has been more than granted.

Playoff Primer 2011: Glades Day's first test is Champagnat Catholicby Matt Porter
There are 16 playoff games on Friday involving teams from our area. In the buildup to the games, we'll break down every matchup.
Champangant's chances of advancing fall in line with its ability to stop Kelvin Taylor.
Did you expect to hear something different?
For a team that finished second in a weak four-team district and just barely had a positive point differential, the task of stopping the state's all-time rushing leader is monumental. While Taylor can carry the ball for 48 minutes, in most games he doesn't have to. He probably won't have to here, either.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. General admission is $8; reserved seating is $9.
Record: 4-4
How they qualified: Runner-up in District 8-2A.
Average points per game: 22.1
Average points allowed per game: 22
Offensive stars: QB Charles Williams(6-2, 180), ATH Constant Antoine (6-1, 195)
Defensive stars: DE Luis Dominguez (6-5, 225), DT Joe Jones (6-4, 245), S Isaac McDonald (6-6, 205).
Common opponents with Glades Day: None.
Record: 7-3
How they qualified: Winner of District 7-2A.
Average points per game: 32.4
Average points allowed per game: 23.9.
Offensive yardage totals: 304.7 rush, 39.4 pass per game.
Offensive stars: RB Kelvin Taylor (2,329 yards, 33 TD on 232 carries), WR Steven Williams (190 receiving yards, 1 TD)
Defensive yardage totals: 138.2 rush, 150.9 pass per game.
Common opponents with Champagnat: None.
If you haven't seen Taylor play, here's a description: he stands 5-foot-10 and 205 pounds. He's the son of former NFL star, Florida great and Glades Central legend Fred Taylor. Every school in the country wants him, and he likes Florida and Alabama the most. He has everything you'd want in a running back — he makes ankle-breaking cuts, he sees plays develop quicker than anyone on the field and he has the speed to turn a fast-closing hole into a 70-yard touchdown. He could probably play in the SEC right now, and with one more high school season left, he's going to leave an even bigger imprint on the state's record book.
In short, he's one of the best anyone's ever seen.
Champagnat hasn't seen anyone like him this season. The best player the Lions have faced, Dade Christian quarterback and Kansas commit Bilal Marshall, sliced them up in a 46-6 loss earlier in the season. But Taylor (who was named U.S. Army All-American Player of the Week for last week's 388-yard, six-touchdown performance against South Fork) is a whole 'nother animal. The Lions have size on defense – watch for 6-foot-6, 210-pound safety Isaac McDonald, one of the state's most sought-after junior recruits, and 245-pound tackle Joe Jones – but they'll load the box and hope Taylor falters.
Glades Day sets up Taylor with strong blocking up front, and fullback Will Zipperer and junior Nigel Allen help out with the occasional carry. They have a capable quarterback, John Barr, and 6-4, 170-pound receiver Steven Williams, who has an offer from Northern Illinois. But if everyone does their jobs – and they usually do – Taylor is all they need to win.
It's been feast or famine for the Lions, a young program in season one of district play. In four wins, they've outscored opponents by a combined 150-20 margin. In four losses, they've been outscored 156-27. Glades Day's defense isn't a world-beater, but Taylor will eat all the yardage he wants, and that'll be the difference. It has been for Glades Day in their last two playoff runs, which ended with Taylor and the Gators hoisting state championships.

"The business of America is business", and "good economics" IS "good politics".
Every year 3000 Americans die at the hands of Illegal Alien drunk drivers. Another 3,500 are victims of homicides committed by Illegal Aliens.No wonder the Dems are screaming for more effective bans on Illegals!/s
Immigration policy is a mess because no administration chooses to enforce the laws that have been passed.
Some immigrants come here legally. Some come here illegally. mMost of us refer to the latter as illegal immigrants; their act is illegal the same way breaking into your house is.Some people refer to them as" undocumented". These people should not be allowed to play outside their front yard alone. Such people tie themselves in knots wondering how to avoid the obvious:Illegal immigrants of any stripe or identity should be (1) kept out and (2) thrown out. Trying to make it any different is like scraping something bad off of your instep and calling it marmalade.

The club works tirelessly each year to raise funds for charitable projects through its annual Pancake Day. Many of the not-for-profits in Anniston receive funding from the Kiwanis Club, which also hosts its annual back-to-school shopping for the children in need in our area.
I particularly want to thank it for its gift to the Berman Museum of History, which allowed us to hold a free family day at the museum giving children the opportunity to make puppets with the aid of the Puppetry Arts Center from Atlanta. Many families visited the museum for the first time and most were in awe of the treasures on display and the variety of artifacts.
I am sincerely grateful for the generosity of the members in this civic organization and appreciate your service to our community.
